Was forever the rule a legal turkey had to have a 3in beard.
Now there's a 1 jake rule and a list of characteristics that define a legal bird. All good, such as ONE of the following... a 6 in beard, full barring to wing tips, 1/2 in spurs, and full fan.
But the regs DON'T say it has to be a male.
So I can kill 2 hens annually as my limit legally? They have full fans and have barring to the wing tips?
Maybe the regs should specify 'male' turkeys only??? Otherwise 2 hens are legal in TN spring season.
